About the Certified DevSecOps Professional Course

The Certified DevSecOps Professional program is tailored for modern IT professionals aiming to implement security as an integral part of DevOps culture, tools, and pipelines. With security threats evolving rapidly and regulatory requirements becoming more stringent, organizations are embracing DevSecOps practices to ensure that security is not an afterthought but a continuous part of development and operations. This certification training takes a practical approach to security, enabling you to integrate static analysis, vulnerability scanning, secret detection, compliance validation, and security testing into CI/CD pipelines. The course is designed to bridge the gap between traditional security teams and fast-moving DevOps practices, ensuring that developers, operations, and security professionals can collaborate to build and maintain secure systems at scale. As a DevSecOps Professional, you will develop hands-on skills in leading open-source tools, cloud-native security best practices, and infrastructure protection—empowering you to secure modern software delivery pipelines confidently.


Why Choose the DevSecOps Professional Certification?

In today’s software development lifecycle, speed must go hand-in-hand with security. Traditional security approaches often struggle to keep pace with Agile and DevOps workflows, leading to vulnerabilities being discovered too late in production. This is where DevSecOps brings transformation—by embedding security early and throughout the SDLC through automation, collaboration, and toolchain integration. The Certified DevSecOps Professional course validates your ability to implement these principles using real-world tools and processes. Whether you're looking to boost your profile, transition to a security-focused role, or support your team in delivering secure code at scale, this certification gives you the credibility and technical know-how to lead secure DevOps initiatives in any organization.


What You Will Learn

This course is a hands-on deep dive into the tools, practices, and mindset required to integrate security into modern DevOps pipelines. You will learn how to automate security across build, test, and deploy phases using tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, OWASP ZAP, Trivy, and Snyk. You will also explore container security, secret management, compliance as code, IaC scanning, and integrating DevSecOps practices in public cloud environments. Throughout the course, practical labs and projects will reinforce your understanding, ensuring you are prepared to implement what you learn in real-world environments. The course is built with a shift-left philosophy—focusing on catching issues early, continuously, and efficiently within the CI/CD cycle.
